Is it possible to integrate two different Laserfiche repositories, to exchange documents between the repositories and how can it be done?
Reading from one repository and writing to another is easy enough. The hard part is not overwriting changes, keeping metadata structures synchronized and mapping metadata correctly, managing security, handling times when one repository is active and the other is unavailable, etc. I would look for any other solution - such as only having one repository - before undertaking this.
can you explain how to achieve this or point me toward similar situations to help me accomplish this?
The SDK documentation, which is included in the SDK installer, has examples on creating documents and the like.
Oluwatosin, it would be useful if you could provide more details on your use cases. Are these repositories self-hosted, cloud, or a mix? What events would trigger the "exchange" (copy?, move?, sync?) and what is exchanged (document, metadata, pages, entire folder, ... )? Are these operations bulk (e.g. lot's of documents at once) or piecemeal?
Repository API may also be an option.
The idea is for a cloud repository to integrate with on-premise, copy documents, folders, and metadata in bulk.
I am also looking at the repository API
Using the SDK do the below steps
1. Create a briefcase from source repository
2. store the briefcase information like document location
3. Import the briefcase into the destination repository .
4 note you should have the same template design in both the source and destination.
